"The intermediate limit world?"

"That's right. There are countless worlds. The myriad worlds in the myriad realms are just a figment of the imagination. Based on the strongest level that a world can contain, worlds are divided into the lowest level, Iron, Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Iron, Bronze, Silver, and Gold are the common strength levels in the myriad realms. They are all divided into 9 stars. The threshold to becoming a god is Silver. That is to say, someone who has just broken through to the ninth sense of the microcosm is Silver 1 star."

"Your strength is around Silver 7-star, while I am 9-star. Most of the twelve main gods are 9-star, and a few are at the peak of 8-star."

"Due to the nature of the world, our world can only accommodate a maximum of nine Silver Stars, which is why it's so difficult for me to improve my strength at my level."

Hades slowly recounted the secret he had only recently learned, leaving Death and Hypnos completely stunned. Even Hades himself was utterly bewildered by such a shocking revelation. Now, seeing that Death and Hypnos were no match for him, Hades' mood inexplicably improved considerably.

That damned Zeus! He was just lucky enough to know all this early, yet he acts like you're all bumpkins.

Zeus wasn't a good person either. In fact, he didn't intend to tell the other gods these things at first. It was only because he, as a god alone, couldn't plunder the origin of the world that he chose to tell the other gods some things. It can be seen that he must have been hiding something.

Zeus's goal was simple: to elevate the world to a level capable of containing gold, then break through to the level of gold himself, becoming the truly supreme being in this world, and then witnessing the vastness of the myriad realms.

As the king of the gods, Zeus was indeed the strongest among the twelve Olympian gods. However, if the other gods joined forces, he would not be able to completely suppress them and might even be killed. This is why he was willing to share some of his power.

The method of merging with the origins of other worlds to elevate the origins of one's own world, thereby achieving the goal of world advancement, is something that most worlds wouldn't dare to use.

The Saint Seiya world is indeed on the verge of advancement, and it is also among the absolute top in other worlds of the same level. With Zeus, who is almost able to break through to the peak of the Gold Saints and Silver Saints, plus other powerful main gods, it is possible to seize the world's origin.

The arrival of beings from other worlds was naturally the work of the twelve Olympian gods, who strengthened the origin of their own world by forcibly plundering the representative objects of other worlds.

The protagonist of a world is an extremely special existence. Although the protagonist is not always fixed, when there is a protagonist, a lot of origin must be gathered in him. This is why the protagonist is often so powerful. The existence of origin allows them to obtain all kinds of power, so that they can easily reach the pinnacle of life.

Besides the main character, some particularly important things also carry some of the origin, which is why there are usually few ordinary people or things from other worlds when they descend.

The method of plundering the origins of other worlds was also provided by Zeus. It is said that he researched this method for tens of thousands of years. From this, we can see how cunning Zeus was. Compared to other gods, he had been preparing for this for tens of thousands of years in silence!

"The source of energy we have plundered is now enough for the world's advancement. All we need to do is to completely integrate it into this world and erase the imprint of other worlds. There are two ways to do this: one is to find the carriers of these sources of energy and kill them, and the other is to subdue them."

"Our goal is to accelerate the fusion of the origins, so that when the world advances, we can gain more benefits and break through to a higher level in one fell swoop."

"You mean find them and kill them?"

At this moment, Death was incredibly excited, wishing he could immediately go out and find those carriers of the source to slaughter them.

"Of course this won't work!"

Hades rejected Death's offer outright.

"Why is that? Subduing is much more troublesome than killing. Does that mean the benefits of subduing are greater?"

Hypnos, the god of sleep, asked.

Hades nodded approvingly at the God of Sleep and said, "Subduing him will indeed bring more benefits, twice as much as killing him. After killing him, he will be marked with a trace of resistance from these otherworldly origins. The more you kill, the slower the speed at which you will receive benefits when the world advances. But if you subdue him, this speed will not be slower, but rather faster."

"Although time is not an issue for us, we must race against the clock this time. Subjugation is the best option. We, the twelve main gods, have made an agreement to wage a war of plunder on Earth, gods against gods, warriors against warriors. The victor can take away the original carrier that the other side finds."

"Most of these origin carriers are ordinary people. As long as we promise them some benefits, it is not difficult to win them over. We can even promise to let them go back to their original world after the world advances."

"Understood. I will definitely help Lord Hades win this plundering war and let Hades stand at the pinnacle of the gods."

Death has been completely persuaded and is eager to begin the plundering campaign.

"The plundering war will not begin for another year. This is to give the other main gods time to prepare. After all, most of them do not have a foothold on Earth and need to transport their warriors from their headquarters. However, although we cannot carry out plundering during this period, we can find out the information about the carriers. Hypnos, I will entrust this matter to you. As for Thanatos, you are responsible for awakening all the Specters. I want to enhance their power. This time, I must win."

"Yes!" X2

Chapter 826, Hello, I am your master

On Mount Lu, Tong Hu, who was sitting on the rocks like a fisherman, suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, looked up abruptly, and his expression changed drastically.

"The seal has been broken!"

Having guarded the Demon Star Seal for so many years that he'd almost forgotten how many, Tong Hu shouldn't have lost his composure even if the seal were broken. After all, his purpose was to guard the seal, and he had long anticipated this day.

However, the current situation is somewhat different from what was expected. The 108 demon stars of the Hades Army broke the seal at the same time, and completely at that, as if the seal did not exist at all.

This situation was undoubtedly very unusual, so unusual that Tong Hu couldn't understand what had happened.

Tong Hu was naturally unaware that this Holy War had escalated into a massive free-for-all, unlike any other before. Hades had abandoned reincarnation and chosen to personally take to the battlefield, and his own goddess had also descended in her incarnation.

Previously, there was a buffer period between the initial lifting of the seal on the Demon Stars and their complete awakening. However, now that Hades is eager to enhance the strength of his subordinates, he naturally won't be slow. The so-called seal can only have a limited effect on Demon Stars of this strength; it's nothing to Hades, a god of his caliber.

The seal had been broken, and Tong Hu no longer stayed on Mount Lu. He immediately stood up, and his body began to change. In a short while, the short, hunched old man who looked like he was about to die had disappeared, replaced by a handsome young man.

The difference between before and after is so great that even those familiar with him would probably not recognize the current Tong Hu at all.

"We must get to the Sanctuary as soon as possible and inform Shion about this. It's such a turbulent time. If a holy war is started at this time, humanity will suffer again."

The Gold Saint's basic skill, Teleportation, was activated, and in the blink of an eye, Dohko disappeared from his original spot.

As Dohko disappeared, not far away, Aizen, who was conducting an experiment, paused for a rare moment, took a deep look in the direction Dohko had been standing, and then resumed his experiment.

Nel and Barragan, however, showed no reaction whatsoever, which demonstrates that Dohko's strength is extraordinary; among the fighters of Yi Shui Han, none can compare to him except for Aizen.

A silent change is taking place deep in the ocean somewhere.

Poseidon, the sea god, was originally sealed in Athena's Jar by Athena thousands of years ago. He was released a hundred years ago because of Zeus. At this time, he has reshaped his body using some kind of secret method. Although it is still not as good as his original body that was destroyed before, it is much better than the human body in the original story.

"My sea warriors, awaken! The day when the sea reigns supreme is drawing near. Let the roar of the waves become music that resounds across the land!"

Under the influence of Poseidon's divine power, powerful forces began to be generated.

……

"Is this the simultaneous arrival of Hades and Poseidon?"

Yi Shuihan, who was somewhere on Earth, had a strange expression on his face. Unlike Athena, neither Hades nor Poseidon tried to hide their actions, probably because they felt it was unnecessary, and thus Yi Shuihan could easily sense them.

"It seems that the plot can no longer be trusted. The five main characters have only been born, or may not have been born at all. There is simply no time for them to be born. This time, the protagonist should undoubtedly be the true Gold Saints. For now, what I need to do is to understand the reason for all this. Perhaps it is time to go to the Sanctuary."

Although Yi Shuihan didn't sense the arrival of the other party due to Athena's deliberate suppression, he wasn't stupid. Hades and Poseidon had already come out, so he didn't believe that Athena hadn't made a move yet. Athena was the victor of a long holy war, and her methods were definitely superior to those of Poseidon and Hades.

Of course, having decided to go to the Holy Domain, Yi Shuihan didn't rush to go at maximum speed. Instead, he changed direction and slowly made his way to the Holy Domain, searching for his warriors and materials to forge his battle armor along the way. Relatively speaking, the latter was more important to Yi Shuihan.

"Where exactly is this place? Where is my master?"

The blonde girl in knight's attire stared blankly into the distance with her emerald green eyes, muttering to herself.

The girl was petite and appeared somewhat frail, like a noblewoman from a medieval European court. Even dressed in knight's attire, she didn't seem like a real knight.

"Whoop whoosh!"

A 2-meter-tall monster suddenly appeared in the girl's line of sight. Upon seeing the girl, the monster's eyes flashed with a bloodthirsty light.

The girl's demeanor suddenly changed; her eyes became incredibly sharp, and she suddenly raised her hands, revealing that she was holding a sword hilt. The sword itself was not visible, but that did not mean it did not exist.

She raised her hands and then lowered them, passing the monster. The girl maintained her slashing posture, but the monster was suddenly split in two from the middle and died.

With the enemy gone, the girl once again became the quiet noblewoman she once was, instead of the powerful warrior.

"Hey, isn't this our king?"

"Who's there? Come out!"

Yi Shuihan hadn't expected to encounter the renowned Saber King in the Second Capital, but considering the nearly one hundred worlds that had undergone a major transformation on Earth, meeting the Saber King wasn't so incomprehensible.

The moment Yi Shuihan saw the King, he made a decision: to take in the King of the Dark Hair. No doubt about it, not even Gaia and Alaya could stop him.

When the girl saw Yi Shuihan, she felt a little strange. She knew for sure that this was the first time she had met him, but from his expression, she felt that he was not a stranger to her. Moreover, the way he addressed her made the girl a little concerned.

"Hello, I am your master, Yi Shuihan."

With a smile on his face, Yi Shuihan uttered a slightly childish remark.

The girl was stunned, staring blankly at Yi Shuihan for a long while before she came to her senses.

"Are you really my master? But I don't feel any connection between us! Could you show me your Command Seals?"

"They actually believed it?"

I know that my king is rather dull, otherwise he wouldn't be called the Dumb King. But I didn't expect him to be this dull. Is it really okay to believe the words of a stranger I've just met?

Chapter 827, My King Travels Together

"Are you lying to me?"

The girl said angrily, her gaze toward Yi Shuihan turning hostile.

Yi Shuihan definitely doesn't have a Command Seal or anything like that. Although he could easily forge one based on his memory, he couldn't guarantee that it would fool the King, since he had never seen the real one and couldn't completely imitate the aura of the seal.

Therefore, Yi Shuihan simply did not create the incantation seal. In fact, his original intention was not to impersonate the King's master. He only said those words on a whim.

"Did I lie to you?" Yi Shuihan looked puzzled, as if she didn't understand what her king meant. "I am indeed your master, just a little different from the one you think of."

If our king were to become our fighter—or, according to our king's understanding, a knight—we would essentially become his master, a permanent, deluxe version, not a temporary, simple version constructed from Command Seals.

"Don't joke with me. State your identity and purpose, or I will consider it a challenge to the dignity of a king."

As a champion, even if she admits that she failed, she still has the temperament of a champion. Saying this shows that she is serious.

"First of all, I'm not joking. Secondly, I've made my intentions clear: I want to become your master. Finally, regarding my identity, I am a god of this world. You should consider me as an existence on par with Gaia and Alaya."

Yi Shuihan didn't know whether he was stronger or weaker than Gaia and Alaya now, but he was confident that he would definitely be stronger than them in the future, so he compromised and said that he was an equal being.

"Are you a god?"

Looking at Yi Shuihan with some surprise, Artoria's face was full of disbelief. Even though she was already a Heroic Spirit and knew that the world was not as simple as it seemed, the word "god" was still a very distant thing for her.

Gaia and Alaya are too aloof and generally don't have any contact with these Heroic Spirits. Otherwise, Artoria wouldn't need to participate in the Holy Grail War; she could just ask them to fulfill her dreams.

The term "Heroic Spirit" sounds prestigious, but in reality, they are just toys that Alaya and her companions created to relieve boredom.

"A ten-thousand-fold compensation for any counterfeit product."

Yi Shuihan said seriously and earnestly.

"Then can you grant my wish?"

The girl looked at Yi Shuihan with anticipation. The reason she was willing to become a Heroic Spirit and worked so hard in the Holy Grail War was all for her own wish.

"Your wish is to go back in time and change history. I can't help you with that now, but I think you don't really need my help. Think about it carefully, do you really want to change everything?"

Yi Shuihan has comprehended the power of time, and what he can do now is stop time. With the reference of Barragan's ability, he can also barely accelerate time. As for advanced techniques such as time reversal and time travel, he said that he has not learned the corresponding techniques.

"Even God can't do that?"

He looked very disappointed and completely ignored what Yi Shuihan said next.

However, being the Saber King after all, he quickly calmed down.

"Nice to meet you. Let me introduce myself. My name is Artoria Pendragon, formerly King Arthur of Britain. Now I have descended here as a Heroic Spirit, and my class is Saber."

He solemnly introduced Yi Shuihan.

"My name is Yi Shuihan, you can call me whatever you like, my king."

Compared to my king, Yi Shuihan has a much more casual way of thinking.

"Do not call me my king, you are not my subject."

"What should I call you, Artoria? Toria? Al? Saber? King Arthur? King Arthur?"

The string of titles made the girl's forehead crease with annoyance.

"Just call me Saber. When I participated in the Holy Grail War before, I was usually called by my class."

When participating in the Holy Grail War, it is normal for Servants to refer to each other by their class rather than their real name in order to prevent other competitors from knowing their true names and thus deducing their abilities.

"Saber, do you truly believe you were summoned here because of the Holy Grail War? Are you aware of your current situation?"

"I'm also puzzled. Logically speaking, as a Heroic Spirit, I can only be summoned to the mortal world if I participate in the Holy Grail War. But I really didn't feel any summoning before. I just suddenly appeared here. Could it be that this is not the mortal world?"

"This is of course the present world, but it's slightly different in that it's not the present world you're familiar with. It's the present world of another world. More importantly, this place is not under the jurisdiction of Gaia and Alaya."

He simply told the girl what he knew, and she stared at him in disbelief. Even though her own experience was amazing, she couldn't accept the current situation in a short time.

"Can I still go back?"

If she can't go back, how can her wish be fulfilled?

"That's uncertain for now, but I'm going to meet someone who knows about this issue soon. You can come with me to confirm it."

He extended an invitation to the king to join him.

The girl was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded. Since arriving in this world, she had been alone and had never seen any other humans. Instead, she often encountered monsters that wanted to take advantage of her. If she weren't a Heroic Spirit who didn't need food, she would probably be living a very miserable life now.

Agreeing to Yi Shuihan's request wasn't an impulsive decision. The girl didn't completely believe what Yi Shuihan said and wanted to verify its truthfulness herself. Finding the way home really hit her sweet spot. Anyway, she didn't have any goals and didn't know what to do next, so going with Yi Shuihan wasn't a bad choice.

And so, the young man and woman embarked on a journey to the Western Paradise, or rather, the sacred land of Greece, to seek enlightenment (and ask questions).

Since our king doesn't have the ability to fly, it was Yi Shuihan who carried her. Occasionally, she would let our king down to get some fresh air. In addition, after eating a meal with Yi Shuihan, her gluttonous nature was awakened, which lengthened the time it took to reach the Holy Realm. Of course, Yi Shuihan himself didn't care too much about this.

"Wait, let me down!"
